Astor grabbed his tall black suitcase off the luggage claim, heaving it onto the cart with a grunt. He then grasped the handles and pushed it towards the taxi dropoff area. He soon hailed a taxi, and told the driver, "你好,我想去-” then mentally slapped himself.
This isn't china anymore, you idiot! He then bowed and said to the confused driver in his best and crisp English," I'm very sorry, sir. I meant to say, can you please drive me to the new Royal Boarding School?" The driver replied, "Oh, that school? Sure. Hop in."
Astor got in the taxi while the driver pushed his suitcase into the trunk of the taxi, and then proceeded to drive off.
Half a hour later, the taxi stopped next to the school, and Astor thanked the driver, grabbed his suitcase, paid his fare, and headed up the stairs to his dorm.

Olivia closed the door behind her, breathing a silent sigh of relief.
No one stopped to talk to me. That's really lucky. She pulled her luggage into a corner of the fancy room, then walked into the bathroom, stopped in front of the mirror, and took a deep breath, trying to practice one of the phrases her parents taught her. "Umm... Excuse me, I'm sorry, my English isn't so- I mean, very good and I..." Olivia stammered, then forgetting what to say next. She winced at her attempt, then tried again. " Please... excuse my English, it's- it's not very good." She brightened.
Hey, that's better! "Please excuse my English, it's not very good." She smiled, mouthing the phrase again and again.
Please excuse my English, it's not very good. Please excuse my English. Please- She broke off as she had an idea. She would try to have a conversation with somebody! Like her mom said. She headed downstairs for the lobby, but on the last set of steps, she tripped, rolling once and landing with a big thump at the bottom of the stairs, her head filling with stars.
(lol somebody save her
